@pml These are all good ideas.

1. If you have stairs in your house do not put anything on the stairs. I used to do this thinking I'd take something up or down but I've learned that this is a hazard for tripping.

2. Do you have someone you check in with every day? A neighbor? Family member?

Helen,
That's a good idea about the stairs! I don't have stairs in my house but the outside steps are stairs. I used to put cute plants on them but I don't think I will anymore. The steps do have railings which I use. At 78, you aren't as steady as you used to be!

Yes, I do have three neighbors who I see everyday at the mail box or the dumpster. I know they would be calling if they didn't see me for a while. The one neighbor is pruning the tops of my trees for me and the other two help by fixing things in my house such as a stuck drawer and a leaking drain pipe. I'm fortunate in that.
